1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Spinal epidural angiolipoma is a rare benign tumor composed of mature adipose tissue and vascular elements. Here, we report the case of an 80-year-old man with progressive gait instability secondary to this tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a thoracic epidural mass with peripheral fatty components and centrally located vascular tissue showing strong contrast enhancement, extending into the right intervertebral foramen. Surgical excision was performed, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of angiolipoma. This case underscores that recognizing the coexistence of adipose and vascular components on Magnetic resonance imaging is critical for preoperative diagnosis of spinal epidural angiolipoma and is essential for appropriate surgical planning.
